Public Transportation from Dodger Stadium to Anaheim?
 
I am looking for public transportation to get from Dodgers Stadium to Anaheim for a midweek night game. We will be staying by Angels stadium (walking distance to the Amtrak station). I checked the train schedules and both Amtrak and Metrolink's last train back to Anaheim is around 8:30 PM from LA. Is there any other public transportation available to get to Anaheim from LA after 10PM midweek?
We will not have a car and can't stay in LA for the night. Thanks!

Does your hotel/motel have a shuttle or tour bus?

No the hotel doesn't offer anything. I know Dodger stadium provides shuttle service to Union Station in LA after the game. But it appears train service back to Anaheim ends at 8:30 PM.
I would be arriving at Union Station probably after 10 PM.

What date are you going? I just picked a random Wednesday and found Amtrak has a train that leaves Union Station at 10:10PM and arrives in Fullerton 30 minutes later.

Hello LTR,

I'm going on September 24th. I just checked and it appears you are correct the last train to Anaheim and Fullerton is at 10:10 PM. It still would be a close call because the Dodger shuttle doesnt leave until the game is over.
There must be some service available to Anaheim after 10:10 PM, maybe even a bus?
Thanks for your help.

Public transportation is very poor in LA. You would probably have to leave the game early, take a cab (if you can find one) to get to Union station in time. There just isn't a good way to get around LA without a car. Maybe someone else can come up with a suggestion.

• You can't stay the night
• You won't rent a car
• You want to get from Chavez Ravine to Anaheim AFTER a night game.

Some of your criteria will just have to give. There is really no practical way to get from one to the other when you want to do it.

So either - leave the game early - OR - rent a car for the day - OR - stay overnight in LA.

Thems your choices . . . . . .
